I was talking to a Barack Obama booster the other day, and he noted that if he had been struck as a Hillary Clinton delegate, he’d be ticked off given how many folks who got left on their list couldn’t be bothered to actually show up to run.
I was taken aback by a couple of names they […]
The other day, I gave y’all the gory details of the arguments given to the Bond Committee in defense of Rillito Downs Racetrack as a case study in how not to make a decent argument.
Here’s another one from Saturday’s State Party Meeting in Phoenix. The lesson: have a vague idea who the heck you are […]
There were two hububs at yesterday’s State Democratic Convention. One was over a definition of who actually could vote on national convention delegates. Chairman Don Bivens explained the situation and it seemed to be resolved. The worry was that the statewide delegates would not be seated due to a technicality. Now, the DNC wouldn’t do that, would they?
The […]
My vote for Vice Chair is obviously committed. But, my vote for the various delegates at today’s meeting is still up for grabs.
My vote will go to whoever works the phrase “$240 worth of pudding” into their stump speech.
I had more important things to do last night than watch the debate. I did, however catch the so-called highlights. Those of you who watched it: can you tell me if the two of them were asked any questions about, you know, substantive issues? I even caught an exchange about flag pins…
UPDATE: I caught this […]
Josh Marshall on the “bitter” kerfluffle:
This has been one of the more comedic aspects of this 72 hours — watching a cavalcade of extremely wealthy pundits, editorialists and political operatives from New York and Washington tell me how rural Americans won’t stand for this.
Barack Obama went bowling, yes bowling, with Senator Bob Casey. Ah, the things we will do when we are running behind in the Pennsylvania primary.
It looks like he got several gutter balls. As a Polish-American with family in the area, I have to say I am deeply, deeply disappointed, even offended.
I’d like to inform the folks who keep pushing for this “Super Delegate Caucus” that we actually already have one. It will be held in Denver this August and the votes will be binding. Maybe y’all have heard of it?
I was going to avoid writing about this thing, but the idea seems to keep getting […]
I’m hearing various theories about John McCain’s coattails here in Arizona. I’m not buying that he’ll have much of them. Even Barry Goldwater’s candidacy didn’t produce much in the way of coattails here (even though it did in the South). His friend Richard Kleindienst lost to Democrat Sam Goddard for Governor at the same time […]
Okay, we’ve all heard the news that Bill Richardson has endorsed Barack Obama. I suppose that stories of Obama losing massive support among the superdelegates are a bit overplayed.
A bit of Kremlinology: I think if Richardson shaves his newly minted beard close to convention time, it mean’s he’s the veep.
